Ghosts - Jane Birkin

Ghosts

Glide in my dreams

Softly float around my bed

Ghosts

Your shadows clustered about my sleepy head

Solemnly I evoke the dead

Grandpa, grandma, mother, father

Daughter, nephew, cats, husbands, and friends

Grandpa, grandma, mother, father

Daughter, nephew, dogs, husbands, and friends

Ghosts

Fallen angels

Hold me tight in open arms

Ghosts

On your back swings

Showed me how with cryptic charms

Remember

A nursery rhyme I knew

As through the dusk, we flew

To the land we knew

I remmber you

And you

Do you?

Grandpa, grandma, mother, father

Daughtr, nephew, cats, husbands, and friends

Grandpa, grandma, mother, father

Daughter, nephew, dogs, husbands, and friends

Grandpa, grandma, mother, father

Daughter, nephew, cats, husbands, and friends

Grandpa, grandma, mother, father

Daughter, nephew, dogs, husbands, and friends
